Hi. I am new here.
I am looking for an all round multimedia cell phone with good camera and music playing capabilities.
After browsing a lot, I narrowed down my search to two phones: K850 and C702.
Now, I am not able to decide which is a better purchase among the two.
Your suggestions will be very helpful. | |

between the two, i'd say i'd go for the K850.. specifications-wise and considering your requirements, its much more than C702 (except of course for the gps-thingy).. and

try the p1i, i think it's cheaper (new, in stores, not second hand) than the c702 already. and although it's targeted as a business smartphone, it's also a great multimedia phone. you can also hack it and install the walkman3 software from the w960i. |

its a tuff choice. ... but i should go for K850 because of its superior camera & clean/beatiful design. (geo tag / a-gps is cool of course)....so if you want gps buy c702...if you want better camera buy K850....

K850 because the other one is very ugly looking, water resistant or not.

I had the same choice as you, i choose the c702. c702 is cheaper to buy aswell, the c702 has the better camera unless you preffer washed out smears.
My topic was here maybe of some use to you

C702 all the way, Had enough of reboots washed out pics, black images instead of pictures when the flash is used, touch screen that chooses when it wants to work, not a fan of the K850 at all, camera quality on the C702 is very good better than the K850 in my opinion, you also get GPS very handy, and it is far from ugly.

eeehhh. im soooo bloody tired of all this crap about "washed out pics" by k850...have you seen the last 50 pages inside the k850 thread with 037/031 firmware ???? it also have xenon flash which is hard to compare with LED.
maybe you should open you eyes:

K850 produce (for the moment) sharper & better pics...(im not saying c702 will be worse all time, but for the moment c702 is little behind in quality)
once again...if you want clean design & better camera...k850 all the way
otherwise c702 is a good choice.... (or my favo C902 )
so before you decide think what you wanna do with your phone (now i mean to the guy who started this thread)

One of the problems is that in the UK operators tend to brand their handsets, and this leads to problems getting the latest firmware. I for one have both a vodafone and orange K850i. The difference between the two is like night and day, voda one is useless, faulty softkeys, bad pictures, reboots, and so on. The orange one is far better, neither can get the latest firmware, and as the orange one has never rebooted I am leaving it well alone. All I am saying is that maybe generic handsets are better, but in my experience the C702 is a far better handset overall for me, and if I was giving my opinion on choice between the two then mine would be the C702 from my user experience. And yes I have seen all the pics taken with the K850 and can not even come close to getting pics like allot of them, but the C702 comes close on allot of occasions.

Thanks for all your comments.
But, to me, the choice is not between "gps" and "camera".
Actually, gps won't be of any use to me. So, a batter camera will always be handy.
Anyways, I am looking more for an "all-in-one" kind of phone. Sure, both the phones have a great camera. But, what about music? Which wins when it comes to playing songs (in terms of both quality and loudness) ?
1 more thing, Is it advisable to wait for c902? - Though I am hugely disappointed with it's screen !!
